Smart Bets: Bark!

In case your your faithful canine has been like, "What, the dog park again? Why can't we ever go to a movie or a play?" Bark! (a musical, no less) is here. OK, the show — staged at Asheville Community Theatre — is not really for furry friends, but for the people who love them. It's the story of six canine characters spanning the course of one day at Deena's Doggie Daycare, and the whole show (complete with song and dance) is told from the dogs' points of view. It runs Friday, Feb. 15-Sunday, March 10, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. $15 / $22 / $25.
